After months of research, experiment and hard work, our team at PeopleStories is all fired up and ready to go! On 7th June 2022, PeopleStories Mobile Digital School was introduced to the rural communities in Cambodia! We have made digital learning a reality to the many deserving children and teachers in the villages!
Founder Victoria shares: “At the heart of Mobile Digital School, our mission is to excite, engage and empower children in a learning experience that is easily accessible. We want to equip them with the skills and capabilities to chase their dreams.” Commenting on the partnership, Director of the Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports (Bakong District) Mr. Tann Reangsey said: “One thing we (the Ministry) value about working with PeopleStories is our ‘common goal’ which is to help our children gain a better future through education. I really enjoy our open, honest and understanding partnership with Peoplestories." With much excitement Victoria adds, “Mobile Digital School is bringing education to rural children via a ‘school on wheels!’ that will transform learning from "Chalk & Talk" to "Flick & Click". This deployment of each mobile classroom equipped with digital education capabilities will benefit close to 1,000 children per year at rural schools.” |

From 'Chalk to Talk' to 'Flick & Click'

In rural Cambodia, technology not only enables better learning experiences, but it can fundamentally transform access to knowledge.
On March 16, 2021, Cambodia has gone into another round of school closures due to the spike in COVID19 cases and many of the students once again are not engaged in learning. One thing we have witnessed is the adaptiveness and resilience of some local teachers in overcoming the challenges that school closures brought to their education eco-system. PeopleStories won’t be successful on this important journey of transforming rural education from “Chalk & Talk” to Digital without the collaboration from good partners. Drop us an email at [email protected] if you are interested to collaborate to make a difference to the many lives of the children in Cambodia. |
